Never say never..
It is considered more likely that the average joe will be unable to extract the CAM_N RSA encrypted key from the flash due to h/w extraction issues though..
Even if someone did post a VBasic tool, 99% of people would be fcuked getting the flash off/dumped and replaced..
If people investigated the JTAG route with older boxes, they might at least get somewhere. This takes more time, but all good things
The only reason the (non JTAG) scientific atlanta stb was used on my c/s was simply because it's now the only thing my m8 could get installed from VM, but at least it allows HD channels to be shared..
I pretty much gave up on 'the scene' after working on the OPOS PPV code.
We took the original opos code and tweaked it to work with UK PPV (and then NagraEdit) with help from a few around 'the scene'. Great learning/knowledge sharing experience which was never repeated sadly due to NTLs (or Kudelskis) lack of decent N1 counter measures.
After reading stories of numerous people using cards to make tens or hundreds of thousands of pounds, you can understand why the people that code these things would rather stay silent for now, but you can't rule out that someone will get hold of something and spread it like a fashionable STD...
I only bothered after some commented cable c/s was impossible (due to there being no idiot guides) and friends (reading that) started to make comments that it was beyond me (I love a challenge) and they were right (for about 3 weeks) but I'm not planning on becoming the next 'NoviceAngel'..
Even now their are things I'm working on, but I devote far less time to it these days as it's just a hobby..
